Long wetsuits needed all year round - although people were seen in shorties some times. Air around 30°C in the summer, down to 15°C in the winter. The water is pretty cold, around 10-15°C in the summer and 13-17°C in the winter. The longer the South Easter (prevailing summer wind) blows, the colder the surface water gets. Doesn't matter much in summer though. Long wetsuit is necessary. Riding is possible all year round.

Recommended wind for kitesurfing is wind coming from SW .

There is Thermal wind at Melkbos Beach, South Africa.

This spot doesn't work very often. It can happen, however, that when the wind is SW in Table View and is too weak, that the wind will come in at Melkbos. It's mostly trial and error. Beware when launching, don't keep your kite overhead. The wind is usually gusty on the beach, but it gets better on the water.

Wind usually blows from SE and SSE, S on the spot.

The best moments to come to Melkbos Beach, South Africa are January, February, March and December .

Melkbos Beach, South Africa is a Medium waves and Big waves spot.

The launching/landing area is reported to be of Medium size.

Nice sandy beach. Unfortunately, a lot of kelp on it at times, so you can get your lines caught. Quite a bit of space to launch. About 200m downwind, there is a barrier of rocks going out, but it's easy to stay away from it.

The spot is behind a point break (left and right break). Beware! When the waves look small and nice near where you launch, they can get huge further down. Happens because the bigger waves turn into the bay. Waves can be very good for wave riding.
